White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer is the leading contender to be the next U.S. ambassador to Ireland, Irish Central reported Wednesday, citing sources. This comes after Brian Burns, President Donald Trumps nominee for the post, withdrew his name from consideration, according to reports.
Burns, an Irish-American based in Floridas Palm Beach, reportedly told Trump he would not be able to serve as ambassador to Ireland due to ill health.
In a statement released to Irish broadcaster RTÉ News, Burns representative said he suffered "a bad fall a few weeks ago" and was preparing to have "a second back surgery in the lumbar area of his spine." He is expected to make full recovery by the end of the summer. He reportedly thanked Trump for the "great honor of being considered to be U.S. Ambassador to his beloved Ireland." The president acknowledged Burns decision and thanked him for his support, according to RTÉ News.
In February, the New York Times reported Trump intended Burns to be the ambassador. However, his nomination was never officially announced.

(5,801 posts)a plum job after enduring torment at the hands of the dump regime. Of course, he willingly entered into hell but still, I feel kinda sorry for him. Probably never imagined it would turn out to be as crazy and dysfunctional as it has.
On the other hand, I could easily see dump yanking away this prize after cruelly dangling it in front of Spicey, ala Mitt and the infamous Secretary of State dinner of humiliation.
